ES: "Tallada en piedra procedente de El Torcal de Antequera, fue diseñada por Morilla y Ortega en 1959 y tallada por Adrián Risueño Gallardo en 1960. La fuente imita la estructura de la Fuente de las Tres Gracias y consta de tres cuerpos y dos tazas en los que destacan las tres figuras femeninas de inspiración folklórica andaluza, con abanicos y trajes de volantes.
Esta fuente se encontraba en la Plaza de la Constitución hasta 2002, cuando con la restauración de la plaza se decidió, debido a sus grandes proporciones, reubicarla en la glorieta del Poeta Manuel Alcántara, en la Avenida de Andalucía. Dicha glorieta constituye un importante eje donde confluyen la Avenida de Andalucía, la Calle Armengual de la Mota y Callejones del Perchel.
Debido al retraso y los numerosos problemas en las obras del Metro de Málaga la fuente permaneció oculta casi una década en almacenes municipales."

The fountain imitates the structure of the Fountain of the Three Graces and consists of three bodies and two cups in which The three female figures of Andalusian folkloric inspiration stand out, with fans and ruffled dresses.
This fountain was in the Plaza de la Constitución until 2002, when with the restoration of the square it was decided, due to its large proportions, to relocate it to the roundabout of the Poet Manuel Alcántara, on Avenida de Andalucía.
This roundabout constitutes an important axis where Avenida de Andalucía, Calle Armengual de la Mota and Callejones del Perchel come together. Due to the delay and the numerous problems in the works of the Málaga Metro, the fountain remained hidden for almost a decade in municipal warehouses."
